Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Physics Box at none against Sand ToyBox's shown. Physics Box also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sand ToyBox's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
